Assessment
Sensory assessment
A sensory assessment uses standardised, play-based tasks and questionnaires to look at how a child's brain organises sensory information to plan and carry out movement.
What does it look at?
Vestibular & postural
Balance, posture and how the body stays steady against gravity.
Somatosensory
Making sense of touch and body position, for example finding shapes by feel.
Visual perception
Understanding what is seen, including spatial relationships and visual-motor tasks.
Bilateral & sequencing
Using both sides of the body together and in order.
